The arrogance of this asshole is amazing. The Attorney General of the United States obstructing justice, and thinking he will get away with it.
He is nothing more than a racist partisan hack.

At least 17 dems proved there is still some honesty left in the ranks.

The House of Representatives made history Thursday by voting to cite Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt, the first time a sitting Cabinet officer has been held in contempt of Congress.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder likely faces a continuing conflict with the House of Representatives.Share This Story

The 255-67 vote, with 17 Democrats voting "yea" and many more Democrats walking out of the chamber in protest, capped a day of often bitter debate marked by the two parties trading recriminations. Republicans defended the vote as an exercise of Congress' oversight duty, saying they needed to resolve how a federal gun-tracking program known as "Fast and Furious" allowed guns to flow into Mexico and appear at the scene U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry' shooting death.

"No Justice Department is above the law and no Justice Department is above the Constitution, which each of us has sworn an oath to uphold," said Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio

While you're characterizing the President......... How about the arrogance of Mitch McConnell, who stated that the republicans' only goal in Congress was to block everything Obama tried to do?

In other words, he pledged to do NOTHING for America or Americans.

Talk about arrogance.

Oh, say, while you're contemplating obstruction of justice..... how about a certain VP named Cheney and the Valerie Plame incident? Does the name Scooter Libby mean anything to you? Were you as indignant then? Not likely..............

When the dems walked out onto the capital steps it looked like a rogues gallery of welfare cheats, union thugs, perverts, and crack smokers. On the other hand there were plenty of knuckleheads left inside also. This whole system must be changed.

As for Holder, it boggles the mind that anyone could defend his actions or the presidents for that matter. Obama should have asked Holder to resign 6 months ago. It doesn't matter what Bush and Cheney did in this matter. They are long gone. Holder implemented the scheme, and it was horrible.

The main Democrat talking point to defend Obama’s debacle — Fast & Furious — is to claim that had begun under Pres. Bush. But in fact, the program they’re referring to that was run during Bush’s administration was called “Wide Receiver”, and it had been discontinued over a year before Obama took office. But more egregious than that is that it’s a facile sound-bite that ignores the stark differences between “Wide Receiver” and “Fast & Furious”, and worse, supposed serious journalists and correspondents do not call Democrats to task for it.

Further Explanation: The local ATF field agents were ordered not to follow the straw purchasers. Federal agents were not allowed to interdict the guns and they even ran interference for the smugglers with local law enforcement on multiple occasions to make sure those guns made it across the border.

When Mexico was notified:
WR – When arms were purchased & smugglers crossed border.
F&F – Not told the program even existed.

Further Explanation: Following the failure of the assault weapons ban in Congress, the Administration realized that gun mayhem was necessary to outrage Americans to justify future legislative efforts. HOW DO WE KNOW THIS?

First, just ask yourself what possible reason could there be for making no attempt to trace the guns for the two years this operation was in effect? In every state and federal gun and drug sting operation since they were first tried in the US, it has always been of prime importance to trace the contraband. Tracking it, to ultimately retain possession of it, was essential for successful prosecutions, and of course to keep these dangerous items off the streets.

Thus, why did DoJ stray from this virtual mandate for sting operations? SILENCE. Whose decision was it? SILENCE. Who at DoJ approved this operation? SILENCE. Why can’t Eric Holder answer these questions? SILENCE (after lying to Congress for a year).

[There's MUCH more for anyone interested in the bigger story. I've got to wonder how much many of the liberals here know about F&F? It's been reported heavily on real news media for nearly a couple of years now, but was admitted to any extent by the liberal media only when they could no longer cover it up with a straight face.]

Just when a conservative has spent a little time making rational arguments, he will revert to type and demonstrate the most virulent type of racism and insensitivity. Such as:

Come on Bard, you must have missed at least one racial stereotype there. I know, your response will be to point out that I am a bigot for pointing out your bigotry. Or you will say you're not a bigot, you just say bigoted things. Or maybe you just play a bigot on a really bad sit com.

This stuff will lose you the votes of Hispanics and African-Americans--unless you can figure out other ways to disqualify them as voters. Disgusting.

Seems to me that you're painting all us lefties with the same brush. While I don't think that I run on about racist topics and rabidly target folks on that theme, I do have to admit to being a bit tough on Christians. I guess I'm more into freedom and less regulation.
